After his vacation, Geng Huaide, the manager of Nanshan Bay Resort, took his newly engaged girlfriend, Shi Xiaolan (an employee of the internal supermarket and a pretty local girl from Nanshan Bay Village), back to his hometown of Shaocheng to meet his parents.
Ever since Geng Huaide called home and was pressured by his parents to get married, the 28-year-old has started to pay attention to the pretty young women at the factory.
Soon, his gaze settled on Shi Xiaolan, an employee of the internal supermarket.
He started using the excuse of buying things to chat with Shi Xiaolan frequently.
After the two got to know each other better, Geng Huaide tentatively asked Shi Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, do you have a boyfriend?"
When Shi Xiaolan heard him ask this, she immediately thought of how he had been chatting with her a lot lately, and instantly realized that he probably wanted to start a romantic relationship with her.
Her face flushed, she glanced at him, and asked softly, "Why are you asking this?"
Looking at her blushing face, Geng Huaide couldn't help but laugh and said, "I was thinking, if you don't have a boyfriend, could you give me a chance? Let's improve together?"
Shi Xiaolan's face turned even redder.
After a while, she said to him, "I'm not dating anyone, but you're not from around here, so I don't know if my parents would approve of us being together?"
Upon hearing her words, Geng Huaide knew that she was also interested in him, and immediately said to her, "Xiao Lan, as long as you have no objections, I will ask Chairman Shen to propose to your parents, is that alright?"
Shi Xiaolan had long harbored feelings for Geng Huaide, who was handsome, tall, and the manager of the resort.
Hearing him say that he asked Chairman Shen to act as matchmaker for them, she was also a little excited. "Okay, if you can really get Chairman Shen to act as matchmaker for you, then our marriage will probably be settled."
Geng Huaide was very proactive. After discussing the matter with Shi Xiaolan, he went to find Shen Yu.
When Shen Yu heard him say that he wanted her to act as a matchmaker for Shi Xiaolan's parents, she readily agreed.
Geng Huaide was a management cadre she highly regarded and valued, and Shi Xiaolan was also an employee of her company.
If they could get together, it would be a wonderful thing for her.
After finishing work that day, Shen Yu carried a bag of fruit and a bag of snacks to Shi Xiaolan's house.
"Brother Liang, Sister-in-law Yuxiu..."
Shi Xiaolan's father was named Shi Weiliang, and her mother was named Liu Yuxiu.
Hearing Shen Yu's call, they quickly came out of the house. "Oh, it's Chairman Shen! Come in and sit down, come in and sit down..."
Xiao Lan works at Chairman Shen's company and earns a decent salary, so Shi Weiliang and Liu Yuxiu are naturally very welcoming to her.
After Shen Yu went inside, she handed the gift to Liu Yuxiu, saying, "Sister-in-law Yuxiu, this is for you."
Liu Yuxiu smiled and said, "You've come all this way, why are you being so polite?"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure."
After they sat down, Shi Weiliang asked her with a smile, "Chairwoman Shen, what brings you to my house? Did my Xiaolan do something wrong?"
Shen Yu quickly said, "No, no, I came to your house because there's good news!"
Shi Weiliang and Liu Yuxiu were relieved to hear it was good news. "What good news?"
Shen Yu smiled and said to them, "Brother Liang, Sister Yuxiu, it's like this, our resort manager Geng Huaide is 28 years old this year, 1.8 meters tall, from Shaocheng, and he has five brothers and sisters, he is the eldest."
"His second sister is already married, his third and fourth sisters are both in college, and his fifth brother has also been admitted to high school and is in his first year of high school."
“Geng Huaide was originally a demobilized soldier with a job lined up, but he chose to work at our resort. Now he is the manager of our resort, and his monthly salary and bonuses add up to more than 500 yuan.”
Shi Weiliang and Liu Yuxiu gasped, "Such a high salary? That's amazing!"
Right now, only Hong Kong-funded factories in the Special Economic Zone have high wages; employees in factories outside the Special Economic Zone are still only making 30 to 50 yuan a month.
Even supervisors earn at most eighty or one hundred yuan, and very few earn more than one hundred. Only high-ranking officials like factory directors might earn two or three hundred yuan.
But a resort manager like Geng Huaide can earn more than 500 yuan, which is indeed a very high salary!
Shen Yu smiled and nodded, "Our company and factory supervisors can all earn so much money. Supervisor Geng's future is very bright. He is also a management cadre that I value very much. He is very steady in his work, very reliable, and an excellent person."
"He and your Xiaolan have taken a liking to each other, so he asked me to propose marriage to you. I wonder if you would be willing to let Xiaolan marry him?"
After listening to Shen Yu's previous words, Shi Weiliang and Liu Yuxiu had no more objections to Geng Huaide.
Such a son-in-law is already considered to have very good personal qualities.
Moreover, Shen Yu praised him so highly, saying that he was a very important and outstanding manager with a bright future.
But they still wanted to see him first.
Shi Weiliang then said to Shen Yu, "Chairwoman Shen, judging from this Manager Geng's personal qualities, he is indeed without fault, but we would like to meet him first, is that alright?"
Shen Yu immediately smiled and said, "Of course! I'll go back and tell him to come to your house with Xiao Lan after get off work tomorrow, is that alright?"
Shi Weiliang smiled and nodded, "Sure, sure."
Shen Yu stood up. "Alright, it's settled then. I'll go back and tell him. Brother Liang, Sister-in-law Yuxiu, I'm going back now."
Liu Yuxiu tried to persuade her to stay, "Why are you leaving so soon? Sit a little longer!"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "No, no, I have several children at home, I have to go back and take care of them."
Shi Weiliang and Liu Yuxiu saw Shen Yu to the door. "Chairwoman Shen, take care!"
Shen Yu waved to them and went straight home.
Geng Huaide was sitting at her home, waiting for her good news.
He was chatting with his bodyguards Luo Yu and Cui Xiangqian when he saw Shen Yu return. Geng Huaide immediately stood up and excitedly asked her, "Chairwoman Shen, how did it go? Did they agree?"
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "I've already put in a lot of good words for you, so they shouldn't have any objections. But we'll talk about it after we meet you. I told them that after you get off work tomorrow, you should go home with Shi Xiaolan to meet your future in-laws. Manager Geng, bring plenty of gifts tomorrow and make a good impression!"
Geng Huaide smiled excitedly, "Thank you, Chairman Shen! I will definitely do my best tomorrow. After things are settled between Xiaolan and me, I will definitely thank you properly for being such a great matchmaker."
Shen Yu smiled and replied, "It's a good thing that I'm happy to see the two of you get together. Go back and prepare!"
"Yes! Thank you, Chairman Shen!"
Geng Huaide saluted Shen Yu again, then happily ran out with a smile.
